Batonneur
Production on Lees
Manufacture : SOCMA
Présentation
- Batonneur made from stainless stell 360
- Rotor especially designed to treat the whole volume of vat, whatever its shape
- The SOCMA designed motor, especially made for the batonneur, is guided by the control box
- A special starter device creates a torque adapted to the fluidity of the product, so as to avoid turbulence and degassing
- Stainless steel control box, containing security device and controls. Possibility to program the frequency and duration of stirring
Advantage
- Maintains a high level of turbidity over a period of time without degassing.
- Develops the richness of wine : the transfer of polysaccharides from the lees gives the wine body, and softens the tannins.
- Develops aromatic expression and complexity
- Optimises production on lees (reds, whites, rosés) with or without oxygen supply
- Alternative to production in barrels.
- Lessens vegetable and reduced character.
- Helps avoid racking
- Stirs the lees so as to eliminate the wine's reducing power
